The current media system in Canada is going through major transformations with both the fall of traditional journalism and corporate media and the rise of new social media tools and citizen-based journalism.

Now is the time to re-imagine and re-invent what we want Canada’s media to look like.

As a collective, we have the agency to create an innovative and informative media system for the present and the future –- to celebrate what’s good now and to create a new media future together.
